You've done brilliantly.

I agree about this being Martin's heaviest album. Aqualung is probably second. Too Old... was a very different animal. Some heaviness returned on Songs From The Wood. Pibroch (Cap In Hand) is also a top 10 Tull song for me.

I would like to dedicate this PSL to my dear girlfriend at the time of this album, Marilyn, who has been battling Parkinson's for years

This is the best string arrangement on an album full of them. Again, one of their very best acoustic tracks. Just beautiful.
